The Arts
We have been talking about the Arts in Inquiry. We know that there are 4 Arts that we do. These are Dance, Drama, Visual Arts such as Crayon and Dye and painting and Music. We have been doing lots of singing. We sing waiata at Assembly every day and in class. Mrs Bennett puts the songs up on a data projector and we sing the words and listen to them on the ipad. We also use instruments as well. We kani kani in class and at lunchtimes, when the music is on. We have been doing lots of visual Art such as crayon and dye, shape pictures, collage, painting, masks and pattern pictures as well as Maori Art. We also learnt the Legends of Maui and the North Island and Maui and the sun, as well as fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Bears and The Three Little Pigs. We had turns saying them back to the class and the preschool. We used finger puppets too. (Class) I was the Little Pig in the Three Little pigs with the Finger puppets. It was fun.We did it to the preschool. My monster picture was cool.(Dawn)
Writing
I have been learning to write better stories. I want to learn to write and spell all my own words. I use a dictionary or word cards or alphabet cards to help me with words. I am learning to fix up my spelling My stories are getting better all the time. I like writing stories.(Dawn) I have been encouraging Dawn to write longer stories and to start editing the spelling as well as check her story through, by rereading it ,to see if it makes sense.

Matariki 30/6/14 - 3/7/14
It was another amazing Matariki week at Riverslea school 2014. We started Monday with a whanau, school breakfast. Tuesday we had a Hakinakina sports day, that was lots of fun, with Paki Paki and Whare Tapere schools. Wednesday we had a Nanny and Papa day .Miharo had 11 Nannys and Papas visiting our room. Some also helped us to prepare for the Hangi on Thursday. Thursday we had a huge Matariki festival at the school. The children were great with our Kapa Haka and there was a hangi, stalls and other schools and people and whanau as well as Mayfair Kindegarten visiting. We had Camberley, Hastings Intermediate and Karamu perform as well. Henare OKeefe was DJ for part of the morning. The hangi was a highlight with Dads, Koros and whanau helping out. Other whanau helped behind the scenes with all the activities, sausage sizzle for the performers etc. What am amazing successful week. Ka mau te wihi ( Mrs Bennett).
I liked the games with the other schools best. I am good at the hoop relays. I liked the Rangi and Papa game too.(Dawn)
The Bike Track
I can go up and down the hills on the pump track but I have to go slowly. I like going on the plank too (Skills track) I want to learn to go up the big hill on the pump track without stopping.(Dawn) I encouraged and supported Dawn to keep trying. I give her lots of opportunities to practise her skills. Dawn has only just started at Riverslea school. She can lack self confidence and be shy to try new things at times. ( Mrs Bennett)
